  "account": "On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced on social media that he had offered the position of White House press secretary to his friend, UFC boss Dana White. This unconventional proposal, made at Trump's Florida golf club, was not immediately confirmed by the White House. In his post, Trump described White as a \"violent Fighter and Warrior\" and invited him to bring several UFC fighters as assistants, emphasizing their role in defending against the \"Lunatic Left.\" White, currently in London for a boxing event, did not respond to inquiries about the post. The White House and UFC did not provide immediate comment on the matter.",
  "summary": "Trump's social media post about the offer came as his White House is in a period of major transition and struggling with his party's deep losses in Tuesday's midterm elections.",
